In this episode of Reforming Nerdom, Jordan and Nate dive into the dojo for a no-holds-barred discussion about Cobra Kai, the hit series that brought karate back to the mainstream. From its YouTube roots to its Netflix takeover, the guys break down the show as a whole—its nostalgic nods to The Karate Kid, the evolution of Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso, and the wild, teen-drama-fueled chaos that kept us hooked for six seasons. With the final season fresh in their minds, they unpack all the juicy spoilers: surprise returns, epic fights, and that bittersweet ending. Whether you’re Team Cobra Kai or Team Miyagi-Do, this episode is a black-belt-level deep dive into the legacy of the Valley’s favorite rivalry. Sweep the leg and tune in!
